	BBC Online - Cult - Hitchhiker's - Guide - Golgafrincham
		The planet Golgafrincham creatively solved the problem of middle managemers: it blasted them in to space.
		That planet turned out to be Earth, where the arrival of the Golgafrincham B Ark rather disrupted an experiment designed to find the question to the ultimate Answer.
		Golgafrincham is also famous for its circling poets.

		The Golgafrinchams all appear in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
		On Golgafrincham, Agda used to be a junior personnel officer and Mella an art director.
		The Golgafrinchams sent their Telephone Sanitizer population away, along with the rest of the useless third of their population to form a colony on another planet (Earth as it happens).

	Biology 102 Student Lab Questions
		According to the story, about two million years ago, thousands of humans from the planet Golgafrincham found themselves permanently marooned on a small blue planet in an unfashionable corner of the galaxy when their space ship crashed.
		Using your knowledge from BISC 102, use evidence from the fossil record, cellular structure, human anatomy and embryology to convince someone that it is unlikely that humans evolved on Golgafrincham and appeared suddenly on Earth.
		Adams suggests that the Golgafrinchams who landed here two million years ago are very much the same as modern humans.

		Yes, the Human race as known in the books is evolved from the Golgafrinchams who crash landed on the Earth many years ago.
		The original inhabitants of Earth (the cavemen) started to die out after the Golgafrinchams arrived as the computer progam was now totally screwed up.

		The Golgafrinchams are a cool bunch with a hoopy history of which most of the important characters are those of the Great Circling Poets of Arium.
		As a management consultant myself and after careful consideration, I should like to point out that the cryogenic chambers should have wallpaper and they were also the wrong colour scheme.
		The only living Golgafrinchams were therefore found on the B Arc.

		In that story, one of the side-plots had the planet of Golgafrincham wanting to get rid of some of their population- telephone sanitisers and hairdressers and such like.
		So they started to build 3 arks, the first for the people who did stuff, the third for the great thinkers, shaker and movers, and in the 2nd- the 'B' ark everyone else.
		The stay-at-home Golgafrinchams were then wiped out by a dreadful disease contracted from dirty telephones.

		All the most important people of Golgafrincham would be devoured in one foul swoop!
		All the 'middle' people were rounded up and sent off to find a new home, oblivious to the fact that the A and C Arcs would never be built.
		It’s ironic that the planet Golgafrincham suffered a virulent and ultimately fatal virus a few years later.

		Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect have escaped from certain death only to find themselves in the Golgafrincham B-ark, a spaceship staffed entirely by security guards, programming advisers, Vendepac repairmen and computing service staff.
		By sending this ark into space the Golgafrinchams managed to rid themselves of an entire unwanted third of their population and lived happily for many years until they were all wiped out by a nasty disease contracted from a faulty drinks machine.
		After a year on the planet, Ford and Arthur return from their explorations to see what progress the Golgafrinchams are making.

		Arthur and Ford are beamed onto a Golgafrincham ship.
		The Golgafrinchams were tricked into going to a backwater planet by the "useful" two-thirds of the Golgafrincham population.
		My favorite part of this book was after Arthur and Ford are beamed onto the Golgafrincham ship, when Arthur, who is new to the sensation, decides that matter transference beams are not as fun as a good solid kick in the head.

		You are ADAMANT that the answer (question) is revealed, but you don't actually know it, and you refuse to accept the possibility that I (who have read the books, listened to the radio show, watched the TV series, listened to the records and watched the film) may have a better informed view?
		Now, your reference to a game suggests a scene (I think) common to all versions except the film where Arthur tries to teach primitive Earthman to speak in the (forlorn) hope of him out-evolving the Golgafrinchams, by trying to play scrabble with them.
		And since this doesn't even return the answer 42, Ford, Arthur and the reader move on on the assumption that the the crash landing of the Golgafrinchams on primitive earth skewed the computer program to the extent that there is no no established "Ultimate Question".
